The Tory chief whip has denied that he gave "discomfort with her Muslim faith" as a reason for Ms Ghani's removal as junior transport minister. He points out that she did not appeal the decision at the time, but on the other hand she may not have felt it right to rock the boat then. The situation has now changed.
What is undeniable is that there is a strong anti-Islamic tide running through the current Conservative leadership (now echoed by the Labour party). Much of this may derive from Priti Patel, the holder as Home Secretary of one of the key Departments of State. She is clearly sympathetic to Hindu nationalist Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and had unofficial talks with ministers in the former hard-line Israeli government when she was at the Foreign Office.
It is a remarkable turn-round from the days when Tories used subtle anti-Semitic messages in their election campaigning, notably against the Miliband brothers when they were leading figures in the Labour hierarchy.
